In August 2014, 21-year-old Briana Brooks and her 23-year-old fiancé, Jeonta Brown, were kidnapped at gunpoint from in front of Brown’s mother’s house in DeKalb County, Georgia after returning from a late-night food run. Their captors held them for hours and phoned family members demanding a ransom, apparently under the mistaken belief a relative had received a large insurance settlement. When the ransom demands weren’t met, the kidnappers drove the couple to a location in northwest Atlanta, forced the handcuffed pair to their knees and shot both in the back of the head in an execution-style slaying, then left them by the road.

Police found Brown dead at the scene. Brooks, who was seven months pregnant, was found alive but unconscious and rushed to Grady Hospital, where doctors delivered her baby girl two months premature. Brooks died several days later on September 3, 2014, after being removed from life support. At the time of their deaths Brooks and Brown were parents to two other young children.

The investigation identified Andre Gay and Richard Wilson as the kidnappers and connected them to other killings; they were arrested. Did anyone who knew Briana or Jeonta see them that night or have information about the ransom calls?
